ShapeQuest
As part of our on-going commitment to bring to the Australian market the very latest advances in digital data capture and measurement technology we are pleased to announce a new agreement with Shape Quest, Incorporated for the exclusive distribution in Australia and New Zealand of the complete range of their innovative software products and solutions.
ShapeQuest Inc. provides the software tools for 3D modelling from images, dense stereo matching, texture mapping, camera calibration, 3D coordinate measurement, photogrammetry, 3D scanning, structured white light scanners, and automatic target extraction.
Hi-Tech Metrology in conjunction with Shape Quest aims to provide sales support, and distribution for ShapeCapture, ShapeScan_SM, ShapeCapture Suite, Shape Texture, ShapePattern, ShapeMonitor products. Additionally we will be providing full system integration for clients including hardware, software, training, and custom hardware design and programming. We are also able to provide photogrammetric consulting services and accurate 3D measurement and 3D modelling services.
The approach from Shape Quest is to use multiple digitizing sources; "Image it or Scan it or Do Both", photogrammetry and or 3D scanning to provide the 3D modelling tools to model objects of any size. Shape Quest has a proven record for providing solutions for 3D modelling and 3D digitizers to major organizations worldwide.
ShapeCapture, is Shape Quest's flagship product, and continues to be the leading software package for accurate 3D measurement and modelling. ShapeCapture provides the tools for 3D modelling, Stereo Matching, Texture Mapping, Single Photo 3D, Combining Models, Camera Calibration, Photogrammetry, Feature Extraction and Scanner Support.
ShapeCapture is in use in over 30 countries and offers the best of both worlds: accurate measurement, detailed 3D modelling, and interfacing to compatible technologies. Other software packages have tried over the years to emulate ShapeCapture but cannot match the accuracy and integration capabilities inherent in their products and solutions.
Key markets and applications where ShapeCapture is currently in use include: aerospace, defence, forensics, industrial process, control and measurement, architecture, archaeology, 3D modelling, 3D animation, non-contact measurement, support for laser scanning and 3D sonar support.
The major advantages of using ShapeCapture over other 3D modelling packages include accuracy, and speed - measure and stereo match thousands of points in seconds.
ShapeCapture data can be exported seamlessly into other core software products sold by Hi-Tech Metrology, such as PolyWorks/Modeler or PolyWorks/Inspector for further data processing to either create a surfaced model for use with client's CAD systems or for an inspection project against an existing 3D CAD model.
